Book Name: The Gruffalo's Child
Author: Julia Donaldson

Book Name: Pearls from my Shaykh
Author: Shaykh Mufti Saiful Islam
"We recommend Pearls from My Sheikh, a collection of short stories filled with valuable life lessons and engaging topics. Some stories are light-hearted and humorous, such as A Smart Reply to an Argument Against the Beard." - Staff at Ar-Rahman
Book Name: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Author: Charlie Mackesy
"The book explores deep themes like love, kindness, vulnerability, friendship, and mental health, with remarkable simplicity and clarity. Most pages only have a sentence or two, yet those few words often carry powerful emotional weight. It's gentle messages bring a lot of comfort and hope." - Staff at Ar-Rahman
Book Name: The Boy At the Back of the Class
Author: Onjali Rauf
"We would recommend The Boy at the Back of the Class because it tells a powerful and heartwarming story about empathy, friendship, and the importance of standing up for what's right. Through the eyes of a young narrator, the book explores the experience of a refugee child, Ahmet, who is new to a school and trying to find a sense of belonging" - Staff at Ar-Rahman
Book Name: The Beginning of Guidance
Author: Imam Al-Ghazzālī
"We recommend this book to anyone striving to improve themselves and develop noble character. If you've ever wondered about the daily habits of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) how he ate, slept, walked, or the supplications he recited, this book offers valuable insights. It is a powerful guide to personal reform, and once you begin reading, you won't be able to stop reflecting on the author's words." - Staff at Ar-Rahman
